Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

‘What a strange person…’

Yue Jianli looked at Li Ran, her eyes showing a hint of complexity.

In her mind, people from the demonic sects were generally ruthless, pursuing their interests without any scruples.

But Li Ran was different.

He was willing to confront the will of an Immortal Emperor just to maintain his dignity. This kind of daring behavior, like a moth to a flame, didn’t seem like something typical of the demonic path.

Yue Jianli admitted she didn’t have such courage and couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

For some reason, she just didn’t want to see him fall at the last moment and couldn’t resist lending him a helping hand.

However, recalling how Li Ran snatched her immortal material and teased her, she couldn’t help but grind her teeth.

‘Even if you have backbone, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a despicable guy!’

…

Li Ran looked at the palace, a trace of awe flashing in his eyes.

‘I didn’t expect this Dao principle to be so strong. If it weren’t for the bizarre and powerful Heaven-Seizing Art, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to climb up.’

The Heaven-Seizing Art could usually be practiced automatically.

But when he actively used it, it had the ability to absorb myriad methods.

The divine thunder and fierce flames summoned by that Dao principle were all absorbed by the mysterious ancient seals on his body.

However, while powerful, this move wasn’t invincible. The stronger the opponent’s attacks, the faster his spiritual power would be depleted.

Feeling his empty dantian, Li Ran couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Goodness, this time, there’s nothing left at all.”

Yue Jianli stood on the side, amusedly looking at him. “Aren’t you the one challenging the heavens, questioning the Emperor? How come you can’t hold on now?”

Li Ran glanced at her. “It’s still better than crawling on the ground like a dog.”

Yue Jianli was furious. “Who are you calling a dog?”

“You of course, did you see me crawl on the ground?”

“If I hadn’t helped you just now, you would have fallen already. Do you have a conscience?”

“Talking about conscience with a cultivator from the demonic sect, do you have any intelligence?”

“You!”

The two glared at each other, full of gunpowder.

Li Ran couldn’t hold back and said, “Alright, I was joking with you. Thanks for what happened just now.”

If Yue Jianli had taken action just now, she had a complete chance to eliminate him, perhaps even severely injure him. But not only did she not do that, she even reached out to help him.

It was indeed beyond Li Ran’s expectations.

“Tch, who cares about your thanks?”

Yue Jianli snorted disdainfully, but her lips curved slightly.

Li Ran found a flat ground and sat down. “Now is your only chance to kill me. Are you sure you won’t make a move?”

Yue Jianli sneered, “Who says I won’t? I’ll strike when you’re recovering your spiritual power, directly taking your life with one sword!”

“Oh, then I wish you success.”

Li Ran took out a pill, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged. Closing his eyes, he began to meditate directly.

Yue Jianli stared at him in shock.

“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

She unsheathed her long sword and made various gestures in front of Li Ran.

But he had no reaction, not even the slightest movement of his eyelashes.

“Tch, so boring…”

Yue Jianli withdrew her long sword with disappointment.

Suddenly, her gaze froze as she noticed Li Ran’s tattered clothes, revealing his strong muscles with clear contours.

Her cheeks reddened involuntarily, and she hastily turned away.

‘Don’t look at indecency, don’t look at indecency…’

‘Wait a minute, why not! He already saw me, why shouldn’t I look at him?’

Yue Jianli, feeling indignant, turned back and boldly observed.

Li Ran’s physique was indeed impressive.

His muscles were well-defined, exuding powerful explosive force without appearing bulky. He perfectly embodied what it meant to have a strong and agile body.

The more Yue Jianli looked, the redder her face became, almost as if steam was about to come out.

“Say, did I look good?”

Li Ran suddenly asked with closed eyes.

“Good– Pfft, ugly as hell!”

Yue Jianli seemed to have stepped on a tail, fleeing to a distance. She patted her chest to calm the intense heartbeat.

‘Truly a demonic person from the demonic sect, utterly shameless!’

…

Because Li Ran broke through the Dao principle, causing the pressure to disappear completely, the others realized it and went crazy, rushing upward.

The first to ascend was Song Qingsong.

As he stepped on the ground, the cloud ladder disappeared instantly, and the rest of them screamed as they fell and were sent out of the secret realm in mid-air.

“Phew~ This is great! I’ve advanced!”

Song Qingsong gasped for breath, his eyes filled with wild joy.

Observing the surroundings, he noticed Li Ran sitting not far away, recovering.

The scene of Li Ran resisting the heavenly thunder was all witnessed by him, and he couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.

This devil was too strong!

Strong to the point of despair inducing!

‘The final inheritance can only be obtained by one person. If I wait for him to recover, I will definitely be eliminated!’

‘Now that his cultivation is severely damaged, it’s my only chance!’

Song Qingsong clenched the flying sword in his hand and slowly approached Li Ran.

His gaze gradually became sinister.

Clang!

A sword light flashed, cutting a gully in front of him.

Song Qingsong looked up, only to see Yue Jianli holding a long sword, her eyes cold.

“Get lost.”
